In this pilot study, we explored a quantitative method to analyse characteristics of breast tumours using 3D volumetric data obtained from a three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic/ultrasound (PA/US) functional imaging system. Imaging results from 24 Asian patients with maximum tumour diameters less than 2 cm, including 8 benign tumours, 16 T1 stage invasive breast cancers (IBCs), and 22 normal breasts, were analysed. We found that the volumetric mean oxygenation saturation (SO<sub>2</sub>) in tumo ...[more]
